My top ten wine bars in Paris – France dhillgsand.substack.com

Favourites from a city with so much to choose from. Having just come back from another short trip to Paris, now seems an appropriate time to list my favourite ten wine bars in the city.

I can’t say I’ve been to every bar there – that would take quite a while (although I’m getting there . . . ) – but I’ve been to enough to form an opinion on what is good and what isn’t.

Natural wine bars are big in Paris, and those who like that style won’t be disappointed. I’ve included one such bar, but this style of wine isn’t really my thing. That said, the unique atmosphere of this bar merits inclusion, even if I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the wine available.

There is no requirement to buy food in the bars listed – you can while away the time with just a glass, perhaps before a meal – but snacks such as cheese plates can be purchased in all of them.
